The Suzuki SX4 Sportback is part of a series of compact vehicles and has been in production since 2006. It was introduced as a successor to the automaker's Aerio, Liana and Reno models.

There are two trims of the Sportback - MT and CVT. Both editions are equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission, which generates 150 hp at 6,200 rpm and 140 lb-ft torque at 4,000 rpm. The five-door hatchback achieves between 22 city and 30 highway miles per gallon.

Features of this model include remote keyless entry, touch-screen navigation system with real-time traffic information, Bluetooth hands-free communication system, CD player, iPod integration and steering wheel-mounted audio controls. It is also offered with the nuLink multimedia system, which provides weather information, a fuel-station finder, movie times, Google search and more.

The latest edition of the Suzuki SX4 Sportback begins at $16,499 and is available in Quicksilver, Vivid Red, White Water, Azure Gray, Deep Sea Blue and Black Pearl - most shades are offered with a metallic finish.
